(no, actual gardening, no metaphor).

I reckon you guys ought to apply for a national round - you've got an outstanding and unique facility there
Sadly, although we have all the facilities needed to hold a national (the onroad track already hosts nationals for many classes!), the offroad track is not actually quite big enough to run an national...we have the track length easily...but can't manage the track width requirements of the 1/10th offroad section rules....the ruling is 3m minimum, we can only do 2.5m width realistically.

It's a little sad, but we knew this before we started. However...it's perfectly sized for regionals and club racing, so isn't really a problem, and not something I'm loosing any sleep over that's for sure

Thought I'd also add these pics too...nice shots of the track itself...

Before racing started proper...


And later in the day as the racing line 'scrubbed in'...
